Keyboard is just that, you press buttons on the keyboard when the highlights line up with the keys. I've keep away from external themes and metaphors, in keeping with the minimalism concept. There's a bit of truth to materials to boot; Keyboard, a game about using the keyboard.

Keyboard gets harder the longer you play. It starts off only using the WASD keys, which most of you should be familiar with. Look, they're right on your keyboard. As you get more experienced typing, er playing Keyboard, you will need to learn and use more keys. If you press the wrong keys or miss a key you were supposed to hit too many times, the game will end.

Levels are designed as a series of key sequences. Sequences are ranked by difficulty and are chosen semi-randomly based on the current difficulty.

You get fun explosions when you press the buttons at the right time. Get a long streak to see it get crazy!

Nice music track, the colorful explosions throws me off when the key sequences are getting faster..
(though it would have been nice to see 'life-meter' or limited lives/mistakes threshold)

I really enjoyed the music and the ramp up of difficulty.

It's like Guitar Hero on a keyboard! Not my cup of tea, but well done.

I like it, very tough.

Strangely compelling. Nice music too.

Is it supposed to go game over when I hit the correct key? Would make a great typing tutor, because the focus is on the keyboard.

Haha, nice! Pressing the keys too soon seems to be NOT OKAY but I had lots of fun. Liked the health feedback

I... really suck at typing (it's that damn y key). Very innovative!
Also, I felt like the music was making fun of me.

Guitar hero for the keyboard.

Liked the game, didn't like the music (sorry). It seemed to be burning into my brain! For extra fun, the player can use the 'home keys' to make it into a typing tutor.
